In particular, if the film records an image which extends vertically beyond what some theater screens will show, is it better to show the extra (since it's there and the screen real estate is there) or crop it?

I would imagine the correct answer is "whichever way the director framed the shot".

Given that most director viewfinders are now marked with inner and outer rectangles for "what's guaranteed to appear in a properly-adjusted theater" and "what might appear in a properly-adjusted theater", whereabouts do you prefer things wihthin that tolerance?
